SSEF1.a Define scarcity as a basic condition that exists when unlimited wants exceed limited productive resources. SSEF1.b Define and give examples of productive resources (factors of production): land (natural), labor (human), capital (capital goods), entrepreneurship. SSEF1.c List a variety of strategies for allocating scarce resources. SSEF1.d Define opportunity cost as the next best alternative given up when individuals, businesses, and governments confront scarcity by making choices. SSEF2 The student will give examples of how rational decision making entails comparing the marginal benefits and the marginal costs of an action.
